      Having lived in Germany during the early 90s recession - I can assure you that Auslanders are not welcome during recessions.

      Take care of yourself if you are over there .

        Don't forget the ****ers have rubber soles on their boots now, so we won't have the warning of hearing them marching up on us.

            I’ll smell the sauerkraut farts before they reach the Dutch border and start a thread to warn you all.

                Hmm, from wikipedia:

                Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include the following:

                * Outright lying in official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.
                * Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.
                * Price and wage controls.
                * Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or something similar.
                * Adjusting the components of the Consumer price index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest.
                Which of those have new labour introduced already?

                  * Outright lying in official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.

                  They lie about everything else, so why would they have an attack of conscience when releasing figures. Anyway doesnt the ONS report to the treasury?

                  * Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.

                  They dont need to bother. They just release bulltulip.

                  * Price and wage controls.
                  Well they are trying to control what traditionally is the private sector, using threats and money. If the banks dont comply on the mortgages I think they will start to regulate.

                  * Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or something similar.

                  National Insurance Contributions

                  * Adjusting the components of the Consumer price index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest.

                  This is old news, bread and milk have risen 2% tf inflation is two %.


                  Most of this happened when the economy was booming, so **** knows what this lot will get up to now.

                    Last permie job I had the place had a competition to pick a new name for the company. I entered 'The Final Solution' which the marketing director loved so much he advised the board at the next meeting to choose it.

                    Poor guy never lasted much longer. Neither did I.
